Mocama

Emmons Realty is thrilled to add 3 Bliss Lane on Jekyll Island to our vacation rental collection. We call the house Mocama in honor of the first inhabitants of the island, the coastal-dwelling members of the Timucua tribe. Mocama means the water, the place where the sun and moon are born.

The mid-century house, built in 1955, was one of the first houses built after the state of Georgia acquired the island. It was designed by Laurence Miller, who designed the towers on the causeway and The King and Prince Hotel on SSI.

This single-level brick beach cottage is adorned with live oaks and azaleas throughout the property. Visitors can enjoy relaxing in the beach-style seating located on the front porch and back patio. There is also a hammock located in the backyard in the shade of the oaks. The backyard provides ample space for children to play and for adults to gather and enjoy cooking on the new gas grill.

3 Bliss Lane is a lovely brick home with a farmhouse feel as well as a beach cottage ambiance. The owner has prominently displayed her own artwork throughout the home. All of the black and white photographs decorating the walls of the house were made on Georgia's barrier islands. There are a living room and a sun porch for socializing and enjoying a morning cup of coffee. The living room contains a 43-inch flat-screen television along with two comfortable chairs and a sofa. The sun porch has a small table for eating or playing games as well as a 60-inch flat-screen television, a sitting area, and two twin trundle beds.

The kitchen is well equipped with all amenities for an extended vacation and includes a center island and plenty of counter space. The adjacent dining area will comfortably seat six people.

The home contains two bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, a chaise lounge, and a 32-inch television. The second bedroom has a full-size bed and a daybed.

The two bathrooms have vintage ceramic tile flooring. One bathroom is located between the two bedrooms and the other is located between the kitchen and the sun porch. This room contains 2 twin beds, both having a trundle. This part of the home can be closed off to allow privacy for kids or adults There is a washer and dryer located in the bathroom within this area.

Parking is available in the front of the home and there is even enough room to park a small watercraft or a golf cart. Public beach access is only a 2-minute walk from the home and there is an area for rinsing off the sand after a wonderful day at the beach.

A guest pass to the Days Inn pools will be at the house. The heated pool is open year round while the other pool is open from April - November. Pool hours are from 9 A.M. to 10 P.M.

  This house was better than we could have expected! Short walk to the beach! Everything in house to make you feel at home! We will definitely rent this spot again. The rental company was very knowledgeable of the area and the home itself! Can’t wait until our next visit

  this is my second time renting from Emmons and they are so good at communication, information, they made it easy. House was adorable, I loved the artists photographs on the ways. Beds were comfortable. Area is super quiet. So close to beach access, was def a perk! Look forward to booking this house, or any property with Emmons again in the future

  Doug B from Buchanan, Michigan recommends this vacation rental

  The dishwasher leaked on the floor and was replaced while we were there. The shower heads should be replaced. Other than that it was nice.
  
  Some things that almost always apply with a rental like this near a beach: hard floors since house is built on a slab. Furniture not as comfortable as it could be.

  Enjoyed our time very much. The proximity to town and the historic district was great. We had two minor issues and the folks from Emmons were most prompt and helpful. Only suggestion is to put in a hand towel rack in the back bathroom and an additional bath towel rack. We loved the sun room.

  We took our grandson for Holly Jolly Jekyll and had a wonderful weekend. The house is lovely- older but absolutely perfect in every way- all kitchen conveniences (Grandson & I baked Christmas cookies, made a fruit tray, baked cinnamon rolls etc). The king bed was excellent- Grandson slept on the twin bed /front bedroom and he felt nice & cozy tucked up in there.

  We had a great time. My only recommendation for future guests is to make sure you pack your own K cups for coffee as none are provided. Also, make your grocery store stop before getting to the island.
